Are These in Captivity?

Were Goliath Frogs ever bred in captivity? If yes, why they died out?

 

As far as I know, no one has yet bred and raised goliath frogs ex-situ. Relatively little is known about their reproduction:

I read about these in this forum post where there is some interesting information.

World’s Largest Frog: Working with Goliath Frogs

 

Check out my pictures in Japan: Other to see a goliath frog.

1. Mexican mole lizard, or any other amphisbaenian
2. Lake Titicaca water frog
3. Dragon snake (some are at private breeders in Indonesia, are any in zoos)?
4. Tailed frog

Also a few in the USA. Memphis, Denver, and St. Louis are the ones i remember.

 

Detroit, Brookfield.

 

Deep sea fish in general are difficult to keep, the only ones that have been successful are a few institutions in Japan and France.

 

I’ve been to several Japanese aquariums and most have some deep-sea fish. This is to the point where several species of deep-sea fish become common among the aquariums. Where in France are there deep-sea fish collections?

Also didn’t Monterey Bay Aquarium have a deep-sea exhibition?

 

Abyss Box - Wikipedia

Here is the French one.

 

Has anyone on the site visited this aquarium? It sounds interesting.

 

I was curious about the status of the Mexican mole lizard in captivity. Apparently , yes, there are some of these kept but only sporadically by serpentariums / small zoos in Baja California, Mexico. Somehow I dont think these manage to survive long under these captive conditions though.

 

So if you search up "Mexican mole lizard" on Google, this is what the Wikipedia description says.

"The Mexican mole lizard, commonly known as the five-toed worm lizard, or simply as Bipes, is a species of amphisbaenian, which is endemic to the Baja California Peninsula. It is one of four species of amphisbaenians that have legs. It is commonly found in Baja California."

Huh. If they meant the state Baja California there was no link listed.

 

Are any Quoll in captivity

 

Lots in Australia and a few in Europe.

 

They have moose at the Minnesota zoo and plenty of other zoos around the world. The only thing I am unsure about is them being bred in captivity.

 

At least this species has been: Dicamptodon tenebrosus. However the one facility I know held them no longer does.

 

there were some at the Omaha zoo and some at the columbus zoo at one point.
